This cowl style has become one of my favorites to wear. So easy to pull on, stays put all day, and adds a lot of visual interest with very little effort. Go with bold, high contrast or keep it soft and neutral - all you need is two different skeins of DK weight yarn! Plus, a simple colorwork chart to follow, even for the chart-averse knitter.

This pattern is a collaboration with Hudson Highlands, highlighting their naturally-dyed yarn, made in the Hudson Valley.
